A great deal of excitement was occasioned
on Sullivan's Island Sunday morning. Mr..
l.. A. Wagner, the well-known salesman for
Darlington, Thomas q Co., went I'm bath
ing about i o'clock, in company with Mr..
Edward Robertson After being in the
water some time he was suddenly seized
with an attack of cramp, which came very
near causing him to be drowned Fortu-
nately both gentlemen happened to be in a
very moderate depth of water at the time,
and the helpless bather was soon rescued
and carried up the beach, but was so far
overcome and had swallowed so much water
that he was resucitated only after long rub
bling and constant attention. As soon as
Mr.. Wagner could be moved he was taken
to Mr.. RobertSon's residence, but at last ac-
counts he was in very critical condition,
being threatened, it was said, with conges-
ton of the brain

92' on the street; how many degrees il reach
ed at the Stockade was not ascertaned.

the cells on the south Of the stockade, there

the building, and the open doors at both
ends of the corridors, made it possible to
breathe, but the inmates of the cells were
either in their underclothing or IN purfs
ndtitrdiibps. The cells on the north side of
the prison were undergoing the process of
securing. The place was as clean as il
could possibly be made, but a stranger who
saw it would scarcely believe that il was
